:::warning Important 5.1 upgrade notice
The directory structure of Moodle files has changed in 5.1.
A new **"public"** folder has been introduced to contain all web accessible files.
Configuration and other sensitive files are now stored outside this folder for better security.

You will need to reconfigure your web server to accommodate this change as part of the upgrade process.
Please review the configuration information, see [Code Restructure - Moodle Developer Resources](/docs/5.1/guides/restructure) prior to beginning the upgrade process 5.1.
